Re: Chris Ludwig Cromwell
Very, very, accomplished piece of work, Tom
Have you considered a Ludwig Comet or Centurion build? I have, but finishing my Cromwell fully is still quite a way off. Never realised how easily these project can gobble up the hours (and dosh)

Re: Chris Ludwig Cromwell
Oh, and I meant to ask: where did you get the shovel from, as well as that spotlight/lamp in the Turret? I can't see a lamp that size anywhere, though the one on the T34 looks like a possible match.

Hey 43rr, thank you! I would love to do a comet but sadly I'd have to sell this one to raise enough to pay for it!43rdRecceReg wrote:Very, very, accomplished piece of work, TomHave you considered a Ludwig Comet or Centurion build?

The spot light was scratch built by the chap I got it off (sorry I can't be more help there!) I think a 3D printed solution might be best
Re: Chris Ludwig Cromwell
This is easily museum quality work or better! The level I've tried to achieve for years and not quite there. The detailing is perfect, the washes and drybrushing transparent, the whole thing is stunning. I don't usually gush like this but it is great work

Re: Chris Ludwig Cromwell
Tom that is a brilliantly detailed and finished model
great job and I am sure some museums would love to be able to display it. The weathering and incredible tiny details are awesome.

Cheers everyone for the kind words, she's been a long time coming but I think it's been worth it! Had the chance to run her at the club and she's also a pretty decent battler, very quick and nimble and able to race around the battlefield. In which she does match the real thing!
